Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 package Halloween Oreos (or any sandwich cookies, approximately 15–20 cookies)
Dipping Coating
- 6 oz chocolate melting wafers
- 6 oz orange candy melting wafers
- 8 oz white candy melting wafers
- 6 oz purple candy melting wafers
Decorations
- Sprinkles (assorted Halloween-themed)
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent the dipped Oreos from sticking while setting.
- Melt candy melts: In microwave-safe bowls, melt each color of candy melts separately by heating in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted (about 1 minute per color).
- Dip Oreos: Using a spoon, coat one Oreo cookie completely in the melted candy wafers or chocolate. Use a fork to lift the cookie out, gently tapping the fork on the bowl side to remove excess coating.
- Decorate immediately: Place dipped cookies on the prepared cookie sheet and quickly add sprinkles and candy eyes before the coating hardens so that decorations stick properly.
- Let set: Allow cookies to harden at room temperature for about 1 hour. Once firm, use a piping bag with a small tip to pipe mummy designs or other Halloween-themed patterns using additional melted candy melts.
Notes
- Use candy melts of your choice; if unavailable, colored white chocolate or chocolate chips can be a substitute.
- Work quickly when dipping and decorating, as candy melts set fast at room temperature.
- Store decorated Oreos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- If piping mummy designs, ensure the base coating is fully hardened to avoid smudging.
- Feel free to customize decorations with edible glitter, colored sugar, or Halloween-themed candies.
